I decided when I was a young man serving in the U.S. Air Force that I wasn’t going to succumb to the ravages of old age.
The ‘trick’ I decided was to convince my mind that getting old in the traditional way of accepting the inevitable wasn’t going to happen to me.
I concluded that if the mind was convinced the body would follow. It stood to reason that the body is nothing more than a conduit for the brain and the thinking reasoning mind. After all the brain is our hard drive that controls every part of our body. Mind over Matter!
Steadfastness I found to be my greatest attribute. Never to fall into laziness and despair. Always thinking highly of myself, having that ‘I can do anything attitude’.
This has been ‘me’ for over 60 years now and truthfully I am more determined than ever to grow older ‘my way’.
Essentially I still do what I did as a teenager. I have never stopped running, sprinting, jumping, climbing, just being young.
As I reached my 40th birthday or there about I began supplementing with natural supplement products such as vitamins and herbs and that made an enormous difference in my overall good health.
Hard work like digging holes for new trees, cutting your lawn with a push mower, shoveling the snow, long walks up and down hills will go a long way keeping you fit. Personally I always opt not to take the easy way to do physical work. Condition the mind the body will follow!
The years will pass all too quickly and before you know it you’re looking back at what could have been. Begin now to think ‘out of the box’ and take hold of your life. It’s never too late to say at the top of your lungs… Staying Young, Yes I Can!
